    Does anyone know for sure if a XS650 King Queen seat will fit an XJ650 Maxim?
    Does anyone have a King Queen set up(sissy bar as well) for a 1982 Maxim XJ650? Thanks

    OMG!
    I can answer this sometime this week. (I hope)
    My feeling is no,
    I have a KQ seat from my 78 XS650 I pulled.
    Its in MINT condition. It hinges along the right side of the bike
    XJ650 Maxim lifts up and off.
    NOW, some of the versions of XS I THINK were mounted differently.

    If it does look like it will fit, you can have my KQ seat for the cost of shipping.
    Attached is the PIC of the XS

    The issue is not just the mounting points, but the way the XJhangs down in that triangle shap point at the top of the side covers.
    I have an 82 XJ650 I will set it on top of to show you.

    Here is your answer.
    78 XS 650 shown how it hinges over

    I know that some years of XS might be more like an XJ though.
    Here is my XS650 KQ seat sitting on top of 82 XJ650 See the gap between seat and side panels?
